You will work under the guidance of the Azure Platform Architect to evaluate application architecture, integrations, data flows, and the current Azure footprint.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead application discovery and assessment workshops with application owners to capture architecture, NFRs (availability, performance, DR), SLAs, data classification, and operational constraints.
- Assess existing Azure resources/services used by applications (current state) and translate findings into migration readiness, dependency maps, and migration backlog items.
- Define recommended migration approach per workload (6Rs), including target architecture options, risks, assumptions, and effort estimates to support wave planning.
- Hands-on experience migrating Microsoft Dynamics workloads (e.g., Dynamics 365 and/or legacy Dynamics implementations), including integrations, data migration considerations, and cutover planning.
- Experience migrating workloads using a range of Azure services (as applicable): App Service, Functions, Logic Apps, API Management, Service Bus/Event Grid, Storage, SQL (Azure SQL/MI), Kubernetes/AKS, Key Vault, and VMs.
- Use migration tools for efficient migrations.
- Strong documentation and communication: produce assessment reports, target diagrams, dependency views, and decision logs; communicate risks and recommendations to the Azure Migration Architect and stakeholders.
Required Skills and Experience:
- Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework, and Azure Well-Architected Framework.
- Migration tools: Azure Site Recovery (ASR), Azure Database Migration Service (DMS), AzCopy/Storage migration patterns, and data movement utilities.
- Scripting for assessment automation and evidence capture: Power, Azure CLI, and/or Python.
- Application and integration analysis tooling: Log Analytics / KQL for telemetry-led discovery; network flow/dependency tooling where available.
- Experience with Microsoft Dynamics.
- Backlog and documentation tools (e.g., Azure DevOps Boards/Jira, Confluence/SharePoint) for assessment artifacts and migration tracking.
- Familiarity with Azure Monitor, App Insights, and Azure Arc.
